LSG vs DC: Ashutosh Sharma’s Power-Packed Finish Stuns LSG

LSG vs DC: Delhi Capitals clinched a dramatic one-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants on Monday, with Ashutosh Sharma’s explosive strokeplay under pressure stunned LSG and guided DC to a heart-stopping win.

Delhi Capitals have pulled off one of the most astonishing comebacks of the season! Former Punjab Kings batter Ashutosh Sharma showcased nerves of steel, leaving LSG fans heartbroken while sparking wild celebrations among DC supporters in Visakhapatnam.

With the game on a knife’s edge, Sharma delivered under immense pressure, ensuring this clash will go down as one of the most unforgettable thrillers of the 2025 IPL season.

Delhi Capitals wrapped up LSG’s innings on a high note with the ball, but two sixes off the last delivery slightly dented their momentum. However, their chase got off to a shaky start as young talents Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel lost their wickets in the very first over, leaving DC in trouble.

Faf du Plessis tried to anchor the innings but quickly lost a partner, bringing skipper Axar Patel to the crease for a counter-attack. Axar played some fine strokes but was dismissed just as he was settling in. With Faf’s departure, DC appeared to be on the brink of defeat. However, Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma built an important partnership, though Stubbs fell at a crucial moment, putting DC in a precarious position again.

Just when all seemed lost, debutant Vipraj Nigam came in and unleashed a flurry of boundaries, shifting the momentum back to Delhi. However, his departure at a critical moment put the pressure back on DC. Once again, the responsibility fell on Ashutosh Sharma, who drew inspiration from his heroics for PBKS against KKR last season. Keeping his composure under immense pressure, he guided DC to a narrow victory.

For LSG, Shardul Thakur, M Siddharth, Digvesh Singh, and Ravi Bishnoi each claimed two wickets apiece.

Earlier, Axar Patel won the toss and opted to bowl first. LSG made the most of the opportunity, getting off to a blistering start as former DC all-rounder Mitchell Marsh dominated the Powerplay. He was later joined by Nicholas Pooran, and the duo put on a spectacular display of stroke play. Their explosive partnership saw them scoring 72 and 75 runs at a rapid pace, laying the foundation for an electrifying finish.

Despite a spirited fightback from Kuldeep Yadav and Mitchell Starc, LSG still posted an imposing 209-run total. DC’s chase began on a disastrous note, but they found a way back into the game, largely due to Impact Player Ashutosh Sharma. His fearless batting rescued DC from a tough situation and guided them to a remarkable comeback win.

For Delhi Capitals, Mitchell Starc led the bowling attack with three wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav claimed two. Mukesh Kumar and Vipraj Nigam chipped in with a wicket each
